Were they inactive or something?
If so, then who cares?

No, they were cheaters (for using bots, or for duplicating rare and precious items as far as D2's concerned).
I'm surprised that Starcraft surpassed D2 now in terms of closings, we D2'ers used to be #1 in that.

Well it's probly because there hasn't been any closings in Starcraft in years, and if you add the past two closings in preperation for 1.10 their have probly been more closing this year then ever in SC.

Good riddance. The only problem I can see to this would be the fact this is the only substantial way Blizzard has to deal with cheaters in these games, rather than tighter anti-cheating methods and programming. Or maybe hackers just press harder to exploit the more popular games, and that's why cheating is so prevalent in them.
